Title: Busco tu mirada entre tantas miradas (I look for your gaze in many people's eyes)
Fandom: DCU (immediately post-War Games)
Summary: It's very rare that someone is dead and gone in Gotham.
Notes: Jamjar said that Steph ought to be Deadman.


Nightwing stumbles.

"Nightwing?" Cass says. "Are you injured?"

Nightwing laughs. No. Giggles. "I'm great, Batgirl!"

He has loneliness in his shoulders, as always, but now -- hope, too.

"Good," she says.

He confirms her suspicions with a move just graceless enough to be -- yes -- and he kisses her. He's too tall, too big, too dark, and he smells wrong, but the kiss is just perfect. He breaks it to smile at her and whispers, "You okay?"

"Perfect," Cass says, and peels her tunic off. "Missed you, Steph."

Nightwing isn't surprised for a moment. He just grins, and, yes. "Missed you, too."
